Update on my U-speeds.
Wheelbuilder said that the CM rear hub has bad dimensions(too narrow c to r flange) and he couldn´t interlace spokes. So I thought this will mean a very flexy rear wheel when pushing hard, but it is not. So far it is been very stiff and I had about 1000km on them.
Have to mention that 25mm front tyre was too big with these rims and it left very little room between tyre and fork. So I mounted 23mm on front.

U-speed wheel build
I´m going to build (actually LBS) a set of training wheels. Using open mold U-shape carbon rims Circus Monkey hubs, Sapim spokes and Al nipples.
Today I recived hubs.
Front: F.T.F: 66,5mm (ctr)
P.C.D: 29mm
weight: 66g.
Measuring the rear is more complicated, but I´ll give my best:
38.5 NDS ctr to flange
16.5 DS ctr to flange
55.0 DS flange dia
40.0 NDS flange dia
weight: 239g
If someone knows good technique of how to measure rear hub, I´m all ears/eyes.

Finally received rims and they look nice.
Front 20H: 493g
Rear 28H: 500g
